Get the latest India vs Australia Women’s World Cup 2025 semi-final preview, predicted XI, pitch report, and head-to-head stats.

India and Australia will square off for the second time at the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, with significantly larger stakes.

The defending champions, who have gone undefeated in this edition of the competition, will face the Women in Blue at home in Navi Mumbai.

When they met before in the Women’s World Cup, Australia defeated India’s 300-plus score with three wickets and one over remaining. While nothing is certain about their next meeting, history suggests that the Australian team holds an advantage.

India against Australia: WODIs Head-to-Head

There have been 60 IND vs AUS Women’s One Day Internationals (WODIs) so far, with Australia winning 49 and India only 11.

This astonishing record depicts a story of absolute domination, implying that the Women in Blue will have their work cut out for them in the semi-final on October 30, 2025.

As previously said, they have already lost to Australia by failing to defend a large score, thus the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will face a difficult task.

Not to mention that Pratika Rawal, who has opened the innings for India in this World Cup so far, would be unavailable for this match owing to injury.
